A new £1.1m road could be built on the edge of Norwich, but cars would not be able to use it.
The new, quarter of a mile road, to connect Norwich Airport to the nearby Norwich Airport Industrial Estate, would be for buses and cyclists, with a footpath for pedestrians.
Bosses at Norfolk County Council say the Norwich Airport Industrial Estate Link "will significantly improve sustainable access to the airport, the International Aviation Academy Norwich and the wider industrial estate".
It would see Liberator Road, which passes behind the aviation academy, widened and extended, to connect it to the airport.
Council officers say it would also provide a key "missing link" to the yellow pedalway walking and cycling route, which links the city to Horsford.

The road would have a speed limit of 20mph or lower, while a 1.8-metre-wide footpath along the southern side of the road would enable pedestrians to use it.
Barriers, maintained by the airport would be installed on the road, to stop unauthorised vehicles using it.
The scheme would be paid for using a slice of the £32m Transforming Cities money awarded to the county council in 2020.
The link road would remain in the ownership of the airport, with a legal agreement in place to provide right of access for bus operators and public access for pedestrians and cyclists.
The Transport for Norwich Advisory Committee, made up of county, city and district councillors, will discuss the proposal on Wednesday, May 31.
They are asked to recommend that Graham Plant, the council's cabinet member for highways, infrastructure and transport, lodges a planning application for the road.
Mr Plant said: "This scheme will significantly improve access to the airport, the International Aviation Academy and the industrial estate.
"It will also help people to choose more sustainable modes of transport when they travel to and from the area."
Norfolk County Council and Norwich City Council sold the 48-acre Norwich Airport Industrial Estate to Dove Real Estate for £35.7m last year.
